We were joined by Christopher Evans, the author of the excellent 'Los Leones: The Unique Story of Athletic Club Bilbao', to discuss all things football in Bilbao. We talked about some of the greats to have played for the club, the joy of watching football at San Mamés and just how great a city Bilbao is. Plus, Matt and Marc briefly discussed some of their other groundhopping trips in the Bilbao area.
